Marcus Bradford’s upcoming film, Witchula, which has been referred to as the “Real Expendables of horror,” looks to be living up to that hype, as we can announce that horror legend Dee Wallace (Cujo, The Howling, The Hills Have Eyes, Critters) and fan favorite Tyler Mane (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), who is shaping up to be a legend in his own right, have joined the cast of Withcula.
From the Press Release:
Witchula, which many are already referring to as the “Real Expendables of horror,’” has announced the addition of Dee Wallace and Tyler Mane to a cast that already features horror icons Kane Hodder, Bill Oberst Jr and Eileen Deitz as well as indie favorite Marilyn Ghigliotti.

After all she has been chased by cannibals in The Hills Have Eyes, she got turned into a werewolf in The Howling, has dealt with all kinds of aliens in ET: The Extraterrestrial and Critters, ghosts in The Frighteners, a renegade alligator in Alligator 2, and even a rabid dog in “Cujo,” so having this actress in a monster movie is a no-brainer.” With over 200 film and television credits, Wallace brings a level of experience that is unmatched. Producer John Blythe says,” Dee is such a lovely veteran lead actress: Getting Dee Wallace on board Witchula is exciting.”
Mane is a fan favorite.
